No one seemed to raise any ToS issues when Brian was told his wife could still come to the US. Not sure why it’s different in this case?

Does the USCIS Case Status say "My Case Was Approved", and it doesn't say "My Case Was Sent to the Department of State"? If it just says Approved, that means USCIS still hasn't sent it to NVC and you should be calling USCIS, not calling NVC.

Sounds like the plot for Gone Girl:
 
Yup. Yet, for some it's a learning curve:
 

If a religion tells a grown woman to ask for permission before she travels, I'd tell her to quit that cult.

That might be because your answer is not really an answer, it's your own personal beliefs. I would say that I respect them, but I'd be lying. A religious belief that prevents another human being from making their own choices regarding travel and when to tell their spouse to f*** right off is not worthy of respect. 
I'm sorry but if you want to live in 21st century America and enjoy the privileges and liberties that that entails, you should understand and accept that bringing 14th century customs and traditions is maybe not the best idea. You don't get to pick and choose, specially if it does not pertain to you. 
 
I would kindly ask you to please refrain to spread your ignorance and retrograde and narrow mind on this forum.
 
Love you otherwise and good luck in the land of the free and home of the brave.

And in our faith, a minority pagan faith, women are in charge. So, if anything, my husband would have to ask MY permission to travel. But I'm not like that. Maybe the poster isn't religious?

I would:
1.  Seek happiness for myself
2.  Forget about his Green card.
 
Move on with your own life, and let him solve his own problems.......just my opinion.

When we got married 5 years ago, I gathered and scanned documents to my hubby so he could take them to a translator prior to my arrival. Then we brought him the originals when I came. There’s a list of “approved” translators on the Consulate website. I brought as many documents as I could, as some people at the time were asked for one specific set of documents, but were then asked for others. Basically better to be safe than sorry; I brought some that were not necessary, but others had been asked for them. I brought pay stubs and a written letter from my employer. 
 
I used my my baptism certificate from when I was a baby to show “proof” of religion. You need to set-up an appointment on the Consulate website for the documents you need done there. At the time, I think they were making them about a month out. 
 
In Salé, one of the places, we were the first people in line. My hubby explained what we were there for, and he was allowed to come in, but we had to wait in separate lines (men & women). 
 
As as others have said, marrying on the first visit tends to be a red-flag. I may have seen one couple over the years get by with that, but she spent months there with him... The K-3 is, as others have said, mostly obsolete. Maybe 1% (being on the generous side) get processed as such anymore. Others have explained why above. 
 
My hubby knew a few people that he asked for assistance to move ours through and had let them know prior to my arrival on that trip to help things move along. Be prepared to bribe a person or two (not always necessary). Since you’ll be doing the majority of things in Marrakech (I think that’s what you had said) it should be smoother than in a more rural area. The only person we had to bribe was a clerk so that he would take our file upstairs to the judge... if we hadn’t, it would have taken us longer. 
 
Best of luck! You’ll have a lot to take in when you arrive. The very first time I went (prior to meeting my hubby) I experienced such culture shock, I still wasn’t thinking straight by the time I got home!  (I was only there 10 days that very first trip) 

I would strongly recommend NOT marrying on the first trip.
Go to meet your fiance.  Spend time with him and his family.
Get comfortable with this place that you will surely be visiting often if you two marry.
Then, come home and think if this is really the path for you.
If it is meant to be, then you can marry on the second trip.
So many visas get denied when people get married on the first trip.  Of course, I know there are exceptions.
Multiple visits not only helps your chances of receiving a visa, but it's also good for your relationship and your future.

While that may have been true in 2010, it is not now the case.  This discussion is in the present tense.  Policies on this matter have changed.  At most, "original" certified copies are inspected at interview, but never required to be submitted to NVC anymore.

To the OP and anyone else who reads this, the above statement should be totally disregarded.  USCIS and the NVC will only want copies of documents and there is no special exception for Morocco cases.  What one person was required to provide in once instance does not make it a universal requirement.

OP removed conditions on their greencard over 4 years ago, I don't think this will be a concern.
 
I agree about taking less classes.  Many years ago I had a professor had sat me down and had a straight talk with me about this and I've held to the advice since.  He said there is no shame in taking one class at a time if you need to work to fund your studies, better to do that than not be able to keep up with your workload or go into tremendous amounts of debt for it.  

I don't necessarily disagree that it's an issue, but are people not allowed to change their minds? I doubt there's been a single person on this forum or thread who hasn't said "When X happens I will do Y" but when they find themselves in the scenario, realise that the reality of it is very different and that they perhaps don't want to do that thing anymore, or don't want to do it right away.

As others have pointed out, OP's wife left home, family, country, culture and everything she'd ever known, perhaps the idea of giving up her last name (in the short term - it can always be changed later) was one thing too many right now.

 

Well, .  I guess I have to hand in my uterus now, since I have no freaking CLUE when my anniversary is.
Sometime in the last week of August is the closest I can manage.  I also couldn't tell you what year my partner was born without having to do the math (I know the day, but have to do the numbers to work out the year) and could probably, if I was offered money for it, get a reasonably close guess for other key events.  But yet, I can tell you the exact details of a conversation I had with someone years ago with very little prompting.  Some people just don't care about meaningless stuff like anniversaries. It's literally just a day on a calendar which marks off another year since an event.  In many places, anniversaries aren't even a thing like they are in the west. 
 

In which case, your marriage may already be doomed.  Couples therapy only works for the people that WANT it to work.
 
OP I'm gonna be honest with you here: Your post makes you sound entitled and whingey.  I'm sorry if it's harsh, but it's true.  She's not cleaning and having sex with you enough, and hasn't changed her last name to stamp your ownership all over herself?  It's 2018, not 1918.   If my partner was demanding sex just because we previously had it at a more frequent rate, or was berating me for not cleaning enough, then having more sex with him is the absolute last thing that would happen.
 
Generally speaking if people aren't having sex in a long term relationship, there's a reason. 
She could be depressed. She could have a hormonal issue.  Maybe it's just one of the slumps that every relationship goes through. 
 
She's not a sex-bot designed to spread her legs and clean on command, she's a human being who has feelings and drives of her own and it seems like, for whatever reason, her sex drive is not chugging along right now.  Women's biggest driver for sex is between her ears, so try engaging her brain not just giving her oral.  Romance her with no thought of doing it just to get laid. Do things for her that make her remember & appreciate the good times you've had together. Treat her like you did when you were first dating or on your visits when it wasn't an expectation that she have sex with you. 
 
Others have said that she's "clearly in it for the green card" which could also be true, but giving her the benefit of the doubt, assume it's not and really try to work on the relationship. Try taking her out somewhere that you're both comfortable but also is not in the house so it removes any of the daily "lets just watch that last episode of Mad Men on Netflix" distractions and really try to talk.  Ask if she's unhappy. Ask if there's anything you're doing that she's rather you try to change. Ask if she's homesick, or misses her family, or not feeling well or whatever.  Just ask. Listen with an open mind.  It'll be hard but try not to interrupt or assume anything she may open up about is a personal attack. And when she's had her chance to talk, you try - try it like "this behaviour makes me feel this way" not "I hate when you don't have sex with me"- rather "I feel that we're lacking physical intimacy which makes me feel disconnected" or try putting a positive spin on it like "I really liked it when you used to kiss me more, it made me feel good the whole day" or something. 

At the end of the day, saying that you're only her second ever partner and laying the blame on HER by saying she "doesn't know how to love someone" is a complete copout and laying the whole blame on her.

I’d still like to know how they met. Sounds like it was all a big setup and a sham marriage to get a green card. 
 
Would she have gone to such lengths for a local man who cheated on her with 5 women and didn’t even show up to pick her up or give her his address? 

So she wants him back just to be able to ROC without issues ?
She can divorce him and ROC on her own with a divorce waiver IF she can prove with evidence that they married in good faith.
A couple would ordinarily show a long list of bona fide evidence of joint financial accounts and a mingled life together. http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide
I would say she needs a lawyer because the marriage seemed dead upon arrival and I doubt that the proof of him cheating would be enough.
When she will be asked how long they lived together and she says never then that does not look good, so consult an immigration attorney.

I would question why she came here. What kind of relationship was it where she didn't even have her husband's address? Even before things turned sour are you saying she never knew his address? He refused to help her with the costs of moving here. He made it public on Facebook he was involved with another woman. He couldn't make it more obvious that he didn't want to be with her yet she came. Her visa was granted in order for her to live a regular family life with him, not for her to live with others whilst not even knowing his address. 
 
How did they meet? 

Have you thought about talking to your wife and asking if she will leave? From your tone it sounds like you want immigration to get rid of your wife for you.
 
It's highly doubtful ICE will make your wife a priority when there are an estimated 11 million people living out of status or illegally. USCIS is not Amazon where you get to return the package if you're not satisfied.

Lets see:
 
1. He cheated on you.
2. He's tried to break up with you.
3. He's said he wants to be with the girl he cheated on you with.

What on EARTH would make you want to be with this person?

All the loving, emotionally available, attentive, supportive single men in the world, and you want to hang onto this one?!

Sorry, haven't read all the comments, so this might have been brought up already:
 
She is from Ethiopia you said, is there a chance that she is been genitally mutilated? 
A relationship without sex is not working, but maybe understanding the reason behind her refusing having sex with you can help?
 
I haven't that many pics of my husband and me on my FB either, sometimes I forget to put on my wedding ring, and I still have my own name... that's part of my identity. Although I did change it in FB to my husband's name.
All of this doesn't say anything about whether I love my husband or not... atleast in my opinion.

What bank are you going with for a mortgage? That might be the problem right there.

You left your wife to spend a YEAR visiting family and friends, and then a week after returning you leave again for a month?????
 
In what world is this a normal thing?

You say that now but does she really think you will do it? Because of right now from my perspective is that everything is in her favor and you are doing nothing about it(that we know of). She is basically living in your house as a roommate, but living rent free. All the while she is supporting her family back at home with the money she saves by living with you.
